Woman was taken to hospital

Leashed dog bites walker in the upper arm

"He just wants to play" - this sentence, which walkers all too often hear from dog owners, was certainly not true in Altheim. A four-legged friend on a lead jumped at a walker and bit her on the upper arm.

A 59-year-old woman from the district of Ried went for a walk with her 61-year-old husband in Altheim at around 7.30 p.m. on Thursday. A 26-year-old woman from the Braunau district came towards them with her dog on a lead.

Victim fell to the ground
The four-legged friend suddenly jumped at the 59-year-old and bit her on the upper right arm, causing her to fall. The woman was injured to an indeterminate degree and was taken to Braunau Hospital after first aid.
